Government in Contrast to Lao-Tzu and Machiavelli
In comparing and contrasting the governmental
philosophies of the great thinkers Lao-Tzu and
Machiavelli, I have found a pleasant mix of both
of their ideas would be the best for America
today. Lao-Tzu's laisse-faire attitude towards the
economy, as well as his small scale military is
appealing to my liberal side, while Machiavelli's
attitude towards miserliness which causes low
taxes appeals to the right wing. These great
thinkers contradict the popular saying "all great
thinkers think alike." They have ...

Fords borrowing can be explained by its leverage
ratios. Fords debt ratio has remained relatively
steady over the last 5 years. 1998s debt ratio was
82.65%. This shows how they were relying heavily
on borrowed funds to finance operations. This is
further evinced by Fords debt-to-equity ratio of
4.77 in 1998, which is up from past years.
Compared to the 1.97 industry average, Fords
number appears quite high. Fords
times-interest-earned for 1998 was 3.68, an

solutions to this threat that are within grasp.

picture any of you naked, this'll have to do. In
my lifetime, my family has owned and sheltered
over one hundred and fifty dogs, cats, horses,
goats, sheep, and various other species. My

discusses human interaction where ethics, emotions
and law are combined. Abortion poses a moral,

individuals to create an emotional and violent
atmosphere. There are many points of view toward
abortion but the only two fine distinctions are
"pro-choice" and "pro-life". A pro-choice person
would feel that the decision to abort a pregnancy
is that of the mothers and the state should have
no right to interfere. A pro- life person would
hold that from the moment of conception, that the
embryo or fetus is alive. ...
